I like this idea a LOT, but not in place of existing UA content. This was disappointing.
Even if Mike was slammed by Gary Con he could have at least given a minor revision or update on an article, like Battlesystem or the Eberron options.

Well, except that they don't allow this stuff in their official campaign. So we are supposed to pay to be allowed to playtest it and then pay again for the official released stuff that will later be allowed in Adventurers League.
If "official campaign"=Adventurer's league then it is very specific about what is and isn't allowed.I must of have missed the part in Rise of Tiamat, PotA, and OotA where it said you couldn't use anything from the DMG in running/playing the adventure. Nope, looked again, and I didn't miss it, because it wasn't there. I have serious doubts that LoS will have anything like that either.
I am wracking my mind trying to understand the "pay to playtest and then pay again for the official release" comment. Are you saying that the DMG is some kind of WotC conspiracy? As far as I can tell, no one selling anything on the DMG is obligated to consider the comments of anyone using the product (unless they are violating DMG rules), so by definition, it isn't a playtest.

Perhaps we will now see an increase in the quality of the new mechanics released in future UAs? It seems like WotC has double the time to work on them now.
Please expand on your thoughts for us.Wow. Just... wow. I have no words for this thread.
